Kentucky Fried Garden is my journal of vegetable gardening in humid western Kentucky USDA zone 7a. Knowing where my food comes from and whether it comes from non-genetically modified seed is important to me. I try to use open pollinated varieties in an effort to continue maintaining the diversity of food plants available to humans. Trying to extend the harvest by experimenting with hardier varieties and overwintering plants will be one of my projects.

It has been awhile since I last posted. This year I participated in NaNoWriMo, otherwise known as National Novel Writing Month where participants try to write a 50,000 word novel in thirty days during the month of November.

Preparations for the write-a-thon started in October. I did get the fifty-thousand words written in November and am now preparing to edit and finish it.

It is already January which would be time to start thinking about seed starting for peppers. But this year I am taking a break from gardening. We plan to paint our home this summer along with a few other projects, so gardening will definitely take a back burner this year. Although I have been thinking about starting a few flowers...

Hope all is well in your part of the world. And may we meet again soon.
